>> he did thank you all good. all right, so on this friday, i do want to leave you with this. it's the end of an era for an absolute classic. love it or hate it. general motors announcing they're going to end production of the chevy malibu. perhaps you've driven one by november, the factory that builds this thing and it's going to be reconfigured to make electric vehicles. the malibu was introduced back in the 19 and like let's be real, it was not really about glitz and glamour. it was about getting from point a to point b. unfortunately, we don't have a video from the 1970s. this is the modern malibu. >> over the years, more than 10 million people have used them to get where they need it to go. >> but of course, you probably remember it if you do from hollywood come on, man, it's cool. >> get a state. >> do you think stake here, danio don't see oh, after you kitty cat the cherry red, 1964

malibu had a supporting role in pulp fiction and also appeared in hundreds of other movies and tv shows. >> 1973, malibu coop was ryan gosling's car of choice back in the 2011 movie drive. and in say anything, and 1977 malibu was right behind john q. sex character in this incredibly iconic scene gm ended production of the malibu in 1983 and then they brought it back in 1997. >> who knows? >> maybe it's not gone for good our thanks to our panel, thanks to all of you for joining us in kasie hunt, cnn news central starts right now no mistrial know gag order change. >> the federal judge overseeing donald trump's hush money, trial, delivering to blows to the defense as stormy daniels wraps up her explosive testimony, who will be next on

the stand and they tell the truth about my son this morning. the family of a black us airmen shot in his apartment by a deputy is demanding answers what the sheriff's office is saying about claims the officer went to the wrong apartment and just how many americans are taking ozempic ligand drugs a new study shows one in eight people in the united states have taken the drug originally meant to treat diabetes, but has become wildly popular for weight loss. i'm sarah side and with john berman and kate bolduan, this is cnn news central so i wish those questions hadn't been asked. the judge said, but but for the life of lee, i don't know why ms necklace didn't object the judge overseeing donald trump's new york criminal trial. left scratching his head apparently about the trump team strategy during what became the

most explosive testimony of the trial so far? >> the judge saying that that's what i just quoted just before he denied a second move by trump's defense team to try to declare a mistrial over stormy daniels testimony. the headline the washington post, this morning, let's call it a review. >> stormy daniels testimony on sex lives and money was risky for both sides. very soon donald trump will make his way back back of the courtroom after who reportedly left fuming last night. and jurors are now standing by to hear more from a former white house aide to trump this morning is she's laying out more groundwork for the prosecution's star witness. michael cohen. cohen is expected to take the stand next week. cnn zach cohen and alayna treene are here with more. do we need to do the disclosure? no relation. i don't think so. i'm pretty sure we don't what are the takeaways as we enter and where are we now? day 15 of this trial? >> yeah trump's attorneys yesterday out their chance to question stormy daniels, who

obviously is a key witness in this case. and as you've mentioned, the judge raising questions about their strategy. they tried to undermine her credibility, really trying to get her to walk back or contradict previous things that she said on the stand. and one of those things was at something that's at the core of this case. here's the question of did she have sex with donald trump? and i want to read one exchange between trump's lawyer, susan and stormy daniels, which isn't standard yesterday, nechele says you've bragged about how good you are about writing porn movies and running really good stories and writing really good dialogue, right? stormy daniels responded, yes. and that goes said and now you have a story you've been telling about having sex with if president trump, right? and daniel says, and if that story was untrue, i would have written it to be a lot better and that sort of captures the tone of the testimony yesterday, which was really explosive. she wrapped up her testimony and let the stand. as you said, once she was off the stand, trump's team did suffer two additional losses. one was their requests for modified gag order so that trump they're asking the judge that trump could publicly defend himself against daniels

is allegations and dangerous testimony. the judge rejected that request and the judge also rejecting a request for a mistrial based on some the salacious testimony that daniels delivered. and in fact, that prompted the judge to question the strategy of trump's attorney saying day essentially opened the door for prosecutors to bring in some of those salacious details because it was relevant for the jury to hear. so now we'd pick back up with testimony from former white house aide. this is madeleine westerhout. she sat outside the oval office and she's are important because she's scheduled a meeting where michael cohen, trump's former fixer and no relation says that he the alleged plan to false five business records was discussed. we'll hear more from westerhout today. we're also learning that we won't be hearing from a potentially key witness, karen mcdougal. it seems prosecutors have decided that they don't need to call her. so another de of testimony, but stormy daniels really leaving an impression on the jury yesterday yeah maybe the impact today will still be felt. >> zach standby, let's bring in alayna treene, so alaina take us inside. what you are hearing from people around the former

president's. it was reported he left fuming yesterday, but where were things today? where do they thinking? >> yeah, he did leave fuming. i mean, it is there's no question that donald trump has been furious with some of this testimony and look, it's been a very uncomfortable week for the former president stormy daniels was one of the witnesses that his team was the most worried about, and we've kind of seen that play out this week now because she did get on the stand and share a lot of salacious details, details that are very embarrassing for donald trump. and when i talked to his team, they say a lot of the same things we've heard from his attorneys. they tried to discredit her. they tried to say that she's making this up for her own gain but they also will acknowledge privately and they've told me this in our conversations that they really do not know how this is going to play when you take a step back and think about the politics of it, they have no idea how this testimony or how the rest of the trial is going to play in a general election. and of course, from the political side of this and from the campaign side of this that's really one of their big

concerns now i do just want to walk you through something very interesting because zach did a very good job bove laying out the tone in the room and what we've been hearing, stormy daniels as she did on the stand, continued to taunt donald trump on social media last and i'm going to read for you what she wrote. she wrote quote, real men respond to testimony by being sworn in and taking the stand in court. oh, wait. >> never mind. so a pretty taunting message from stormy daniels and i mean, i'm not sure what her strategy is if she's trying to go them into testimony, but this is of course, something that is going to get under the former president's skin. we know that in the past he has said that he wants to testify. it's in donald trump's nature that he wants to be the one to defend himself. >> of course its lawyers have been behind the scenes telling him that is not a good idea. and i also think just big picture here. this is part of why he is so angry about the gag order as well. because when people like stormy daniels, witnesses are able to come out and attack him, he feels like

he has no way to defend himself. and i think we'll see a very similar type of situation with donald while trump feeling similarly furious when michael cohen ultimately takes the stand, kate. >> all right. well and train. thank you so much that cohen. thank you both sir. >> all right. i had disturbing bodycam video shedding light on what happened in the moments leading up to the fatal police shooting of a 20 active duty airman what we're hearing from law enforcement after the sanely is insisting the deputy went to the wrong apartment. also, did israel violate international law using us weapons? the biden administration has reached a conclusion in a report that is about to be sent to congress here would see an sources say the administration has decided and what to expect some tonight, you've heard of bombs like loans at giant hail now a severe geomagnetic storm is set to impact all of earth's for the first time in almost 20 years. what you will see trump

sheriff's office door the door the victim has been identified as 23-year-old roger fortson, and he was a senior airman in the air force. >> he was actually on a facetime call with his girlfriend when that shooting happened. we pause that video before the deputy opened fire, but we do want to show you that facetime video from his girlfriend. and in it, you could hear fortson struggling to breathe even still while he's laying on the ground, the deputy continues to order him and give him commands e're

good now you've seen both those videos for yourself. >> listen now to how the sheriff and okaloosa county described what happened what we do know at this time is that the deputy did announce himself not once, but twice. mr. fortson's comments indicate that he did acknowledge it was law enforcement at the door and he arrived at the door with a firearm in his hand. the deputy knocked on the correct door. he did not cover the peephole or otherwise obscured its view in any way now, the shooting happened, missed a matter of seconds, really. >> fortson was idolized by his family. you could see that in the photo here with his little sister. she dressed up like him

consider alternatives to a full-scale invasion of rafah and saying that no us weapons would be part of a military campaign that was seen in causing mass casualties in that dense hub for humanitarian aid and for refugee resettlement over the course of those months, syrup, the administration did not get clarity on what netanyahu's plans were. and so when the israeli defense forces started establishing a presence along the border, choking off some of those points of entry. that's when the biden administration and the president specifically decided that those private warnings is simply we're not enough and the president, as we have heard, than disclosing to cnn's erin burnett, that if israel were to go into rafah then aid would be if held. nsc spokesman john kirby telling reporters yesterday, i can assure you that direct and forthright nature with which he expressed himself and his concerns in that interview with erin burnett is consistent with how he is expressed. let's to himself, to prime minister

netanyahu, end two israeli officials. now that public declaration, sarah, as you mentioned, coming in advance of that highly anticipated report where the us was required to certify whether israel was in compliance with or had violated international humanitarian laws that would allow it to continue receiving that aid. and cnn has learned, according to contributor barak ravid, that blinken secretes secretary of state tony blinken will be saying that israel has complied and can continue you to receiving aid though, sarah, you should be sure that some of those warnings will continue behind the scenes. >> interesting to learn that there were some diplomatic back-and-forth and private as you would expect, uh, before biden made this public, hello. thank you so much their life for us from the white house, john, right? so do you know eight people according to new data, just in at least one of them he is on a weight-loss drug like ozempic or jira in this morning, is this a confederate victory? one school board votes to change the names of school to honore confederate

>> let's go to some live pictures of trump tower where as you know, it happens every day of court. donald trump soon going to be leaving. they're heading too, de 15 of his criminal hush money trial here in new york. thursday i'm another pretty dramatic de in court. trump's lawyers grilling for me, danielson, a confrontational and contentious cross-examination. juror is now standing by to hear more from trump's former white house aide this morning, i am joined this morning by former trump white house lawyer jim shultz, and cnn legal analyst and former house judiciary special counsel in trump's first impeachment trial. norm eisen. thank you, gentlemen, for being here bright early. i know you went to a concert last night. let's dab it out because we love us some billy joel, but now we're talking about what happened in court which was kinda wild, right when you're talking about a former president and the allegations being made and the defense line of questioning hit two points. i felt like over and over and over again one, they were for accusing stormy daniels of solely being motivated by money and two, they were basically calling her a liar and shaming

or they're bringing up a lot of sex talk. >> here is some of what she said. i want to read this out for you this is the exchange between stormy daniels and one of trump's attorneys trump attorney says, so, you have a lot of experience making phony stories and sex appear to be real, right daniels, lasts. wow that's not how i would put it. the sex in the films is very much real, just like what happened to me in that room trump's attorney all right. but you're making fictional stories about sex. you write those stories daniels know the sex is real. the character names might be different, but the sex is very real. the attorney says, you have bragged about how good you are about writing porn movies and writing really good stories and writing really good dialogue, right daniels? yes. >> trump attorney. and now you have a story you've been telling about having sex with president trump, right? daniels. and if that's maury was untrue, i would have written it to be a lot better.

>> all right. so she's as the british would say, taking the it comes to responding norm, you are inside court while all this was happening. >> how did this come across to the jury? she laughed a bit she she seemed to be sort of almost poking fund at the questions themselves the jury was sympathetic to her sara unlike on her direct, which paradoxically was less successful with the jurors, i thought than the cross that genuine stormy daniels came out and they laughed. >> jurors laughed at her jokes. they paid close attention. many of them have writing materials they put down the writing materials and watched her. i've thought they were sympathetic to her. it's always tough to know what's going on inside jurors minds. we won't know until we get a verdict in this case. but i thought that the

testimony came across, well, there is a defense strategy at play here. they're playing for one angry juror to give them a mistrial, but stormy daniels held her own, and that means she won the day jim, you can only tell what doors are failing by their facial expressions usually are some of their audit audio. i do want to ask you, though, this line of questioning about lying does this set though the jury up to question? well, if she didn't have this one night stand with dr. than, why would they pay are $130,000 to shut her up? >> yeah. i felt this line of questioning was really risky for the defense, right. i think that, what they did it was it was a risk for the prosecution on the front end and i think it didn't play well in the front end with the jury likely on the front end in terms of direct examination, but on the cross-examination, i think she probably did a nice job like nor said, of appealing to jurors. right. she was making

them laugh shubi, they were engaged. they put their pens, pencils down like pens down. they were they were entertained if you will, by this which at the end of the day takes the tire some kind of sitting there for hours and hours away, they're paying attention. >> i don't know that it probably went in their favor in terms of the testimony, but the line here is that okay. >> she's discredited. she doesn't tell the truth. that's what they're trying to say. hey, they're trying to say she's money hungry. they're trying to appeal to that one juror like like norm said, and maybe they get it. >> okay. >> i want to ask you about something that the judge has said because i found this quite interesting after her testimony, where she described in some detail about the sexual like countering, she was asked over and over and over again for hours by the cross-examine irs about that particular night. the judge did not grant an appeal because he had said, look, we don't need to hear these intimate details of the alleged sexual encounter, but

the judge said then this to the attorneys afterwards. he says, look for some unexplained reason he says which i still do not understand, there was no objection to certain testimony which was later used in the motion for a mistrial on tuesday and again used today, for example, the mention of the condom, i agree that should not have come out. i wish those questions hadn't been asked and i wish those answers hadn't been given, but for the life of me, i don't understand ms nichols why you didn't object. what does this tell you about the judge's thinking? and is this something that if you don't object, you can't bring it up. an appeal or does it hurt your case? the judge is trying to create a record for a so that this does so this isn't something that comes back on them and i do think, look, they should have been objecting to some of those some of those issues they missed, some of them, but they have to make a strategic decision at that time. >> do you object? object. object. and look to the jury like you're worried about it. 4d object. make your points the entire line. the judge made some comments about it. just preserve the record. move on

for appeal. i think they were probably doing the ladder, but they probably should have objected more specifically on those instance and particularly the communist okay. >> norm there was also white house aide to donald trump, former white house aide for down drop, who took the stand and what did you think about that? because it did seem xi humanized him a bit and even apologize to him for buying a $600 picture frame, saying sorry, we spent so much money on that in court i. >> thought. >> madeleine westerhout was an effective witness for both sides. the prosecution needed her, sarah, as you know, because there's a two dimensions to this case they're alleging that there was a criminal conspiracy to violate campaign finance ants and other laws benefiting the campaign in 2016 with this hush money payment. and then there was a documentary cover up a document case. you need a series of

witnesses to authenticate and introduce all the documents. and she helped with the chain of custody, but she also helped the defense it was very skillful how they took advantage of that so some good for both sides in her testimony all right norm eisen. >> thank you so much. now you're going to be in court watching all of this. and jim shells appreciate you getting up early and coming in for us this morning. >> so if you are having a hard time buying a house, you're definitely not alone. i new survey has american saying it is the worst time ever to buy a home. cnn's matt egan joy, it's been out with all of the good news. you talk us through these numbers okay. >> listen, it is tough out there for homebuyers historically tough. >> we've got inventory is low, home prices are high, and mortgage rates are even higher that's why just 21% of americans say that it is a good time to buy a home right now, according to gallup, that is tied with last year for the lowest reading and the gallup has ever seen 76%.

>> it's tied with last time, last year, 76% say it is a bad time to buy a home that is just off the record high of 78% last year and it listen, it is hard to get 76% americans to agree on anything, but they agree on this. >> one of the big factor there's here i mentioned is home prices. now, the latest reading shows that home prices were up by 5% in march to $393,000. that is the highest price that we've ever seen in march. now, this cuts both ways, right? if you already own your home, this means you're rich right? on paper gives you another source to borrow against. >> but when you sell your house, you can't get another one, right? and a lot of people are on the outside i'm looking in. they want to buy, but they feel like they can't. they've got to borrow now let's look at mortgage rates can you talk us through mortgage rates? this is huge when you think of where mortgage rates were, what, five years ago absolutely. look at this. so i mean, the good news is that rates did tick down to seven of goodness searching,

but you need to magnifying glass pc that tick down because we're still talking about wreath that have doubled from three years ago. >> hopefully kate, the fed can start lowering interest rates because the higher rates are, the less affordable housing is. >> i just want to run you through exactly why this matters. let's say you're in the market to buy a $500,000 home and you're planning to put down 20% your monthly payments are a higher per month than they would have been three years ago. all because interest rates are higher the bearer of good news always are madigan john, i know you have a beautiful home and you are not in the market, but this is rough. >> i will only be paying the mortgage for another 65 years. thanks very much for that. >> so this morning, a new poll shows one out of every eight adults in the as taken a weight loss drug like ozempic or monera seton medical correspondent meg tirrell joins us now. look, i've had a primary care physician tell me is like three quarters of his practice now, it's everywhere

wow, john, i mean, he's numbers really speak to that. >> and to put it even further into context, these drugs are in shortage. the companies that make them novo nordisk and eli lilly, they cannot make enough to satisfy demand. so we're talking about these glp-1 receptor agonist drugs, including ozempic, mounjaro, which are approved for type two diabetes and wegovy and zepbound which are approved for weight loss. now this new poll from kff shows that 12% of americans in this poll, one out of eight people says they've ever taken one of these drugs, 6% say they are currently taking one that equates to about 15 million americans. and there would be more if there wasn't a shortage. so keep that in mind. >> now, among people with type two diabetes, those are the most common folks to have said that they've ever taken one of these medicines more than 40%, about 26% of people with heart disease say they've ever taken one of these drugs and 22% of people with obesity or who are overweight so, of course we

know that there is a clamoring for these medicines. >> the companies can't make enough and these numbers are only expected to keep rising it's not cheap. >> i mean, what are the polls say about the cost right now of these drugs? >> that is the other huge issue with these medicines. they are priced at more than $1,000 per month before insurance kicks in. and often insurance doesn't kick in, so that can be really problematic for people. we see in this poll that more than half folks say that these drugs have been difficult to afford. 22% say they are very difficult. one segment of the population that has particular trouble is elderly americans. people who are on medicare because cms centers for medicare and medicaid services isn't allowed to cover drugs used solely for weight loss. now, as these medications get additional indications, like for example, one of them would go v was shown to prevent heart attacks and strokes in people who've already had one of those events, they will get better coverage. but right now, just for weight loss, people don't have that coverage. and more

than 60% of people in this poll said that that should change even when told that could raise premiums for everybody, right? >> make sure l thanks so much for being with this morning. have a great weekend. sarah. >> all right. this morning prince harry and meghan markle, the duchess of sussex, are in nigeria. they're very first strip to the country. there there to promote harry's invictus games. that is for wounded veterans and military members. the trip comes days after harry celebrated the tenth anniversary of the games in london. and a couple years later after meghan said she actually has genetic ties to the country, the two of them going into nigeria for this really important important games, very important to harry cnn, senior editor stephanie busari is in nigeria for us to explain what is happening. here and how this visit all came about. we will get her in just a few seconds. we're having some technical problems there

new reporting on all of this. she's joining us now, kitty both what's going on here? >> yeah. kate. so the us has been building this floating pier that they are going to use to transport aid from ships arriving from cyprus to get aid to desperate palestinians inside of gaza. but there's a lot of really basic practical challenges to making this peer actually work, even as the pentagon says that they expect to be able to have this thing operational within days and weather conditions play a potentially huge factor here. and in fact, already have part of the reason that this aid is still sitting in ships off of the coast of gaza is because weather conditions forced the us to move this fluid putting pier to a report in israel because of high seas and it's still sitting there even as the pentagon says that they expect to have this thing operational within days. in fact, reporting from our colleagues suggests that weather conditions have to be almost unusually perfect for

this pier to be to be operational. in order to safely use this thing, seila levels have to be waves have to be at three-foot or below and wind speeds have to be at 15 miles per hour or less. but according to a marine data center in israel conditions in the area where this piers expected to operate, sea levels are pretty typically at around the three-foot levels. so i think there's some big questions about how frequently the us is even going to end its allies are even going to be able to flow down this peer once you get it operational, this isn't just going to be an open artery into gaza and also adding into the complication you're talking about gift to flow down the pier. >> what happens then who what's the chain of custody? who takes the aid from the pier to the shore? >> yeah. that's the million-dollar question. the us is refusing to do it because they, the biden administration doesn't want its personnel anywhere near israel, according to us officials, the uk had in fact offered to do this, but it's now backed out because of security concerns. pentagon press secretary saying that it could be civilian contractors that do this, but not clear who

that actually would be. the pentagon is saying non-us contractors, one source familiar with the matter suggested that one plan under consideration is that it might be israeli contractors, but that's the big question at this point. we don't know kate katie it's always good to see you. thanks for bringing us the reporting. >> john all right. with me now is democratic congressman adam smith, the ranking member on the house, armed services committee. congressman, always great to have you here. how clear. and i know you heard erin burnett interview with president biden the other night how clear do you think the president's policy toward israel in terms of supplying weapons is right now. >> well, there's one aspect of it that isn't clear, but overall it's incredibly clear that dr. supporting israel we just passed a massive supplemental. we continue to give weapons stun the defend themselves just a couple of weeks ago, we defended them against the attack from iran, hundreds of missiles that were shot down and the us played a huge role on that. that's clear. and the specific aspect of what weapons is he talking

about? restricting from israel? real based on what actions i don't think that was as clear as it was. now, john kirby cleared it up quite a bit yesterday talking about dumb bombs specifically. and if the attack in rafah amounts to a basically a full urban invasion, and you're talking about dropping bombs indiscriminately but i don't think that is as clear as it should be, and i think the president not to clear it up. >> you think it's communications issue? >> it's really complicated problem. >> i mean, look, israel is trying to defeat hamas that requires military action. >> at the same time, you have a massive humanitarian crisis with the president has been trying to do from the beginning of this conflict is help israel defend itself, defeat hamas. and at the same time minimize that humanitarian catastrophe three that's not easy. it's not easy for israel, it's not easy for us as we're trying to help them in that effort. >> do you agree with the policy of threatening to withhold certain weapons if israel goes further into rafah, i don't

think he should have done it publicly. i think the private conversations were very appropriate. i think the other possibility is end-use restrictions we've done that for instance in ukraine. here's your weapons, can't fire into russia. >> why don't you think he should have done a publicly because look, the biggest block to a ceasefire right now is hamas. and that's being largely under-reported. there has been a ceasefire agreement on the table for months, which the president brokered to allow for the return of hostages and temporary ceasefire. hamas is blocked that and said no, israel has to completely withdrawal permanent ceasefire. and oh, by the way, we're only going to return some of the hostages over an extended period of time. that offers bint on the table. we have to keep the pressure on hamas to agree to that ceasefire so what then does making the public threat to withhold weapons do well, i think it's being way overblown. >> okay. and obviously there's politics involved here. the republicans attack joe biden every time he opens his mouth the notion that this is some

kind of huge signal that we're backing off of our support for israel. the facts don't back that up, but you said you wish he hadn't done a publicly and i'm trying to understand why. well, it doesn't help. okay. what i just said was the idea that somehow this is some huge break with israel. well, why is because i think it took pressure off of hamas when it shouldn't. now, you think it disincentivizes hamas are making a deal. >> sometimes they get it's a small part of the larger problem. look, i mean, some of the broader reporting on this as part of the problem too. i mean, the new york times initially reported hamas agrees to a ceasefire in it's largely what israel was asking for. that's what it was, wasn't even close a lot of the global reporting has under underscored the problems that hamas is presenting. and i think that's a problem. but again, i think this has been blown out of proportion the us still supports israel. we also want to get to a better humanitarian situation in gaza. that's the very difficult terrain the president is trying to navigate. >> you spend most of your time and the northwest and in

washington dc, it's always nice to see you here in new york city. i don't know if you're aware there's a big trial going on here in new york city, have been reporting about that every once in awhile, we touch on it here what do you think the impact of this trial will be on the election? >> well, i think luck it's hard to say at this point in the world that i grew up in the impact of all this would have been the donald trump would win a politics that would be the end of it. so what world are we living in? it's, it's kinda hard to say personally, i think this image if the size is the weaknesses that donald trump brings to the office on a whole wide variety of different issues. i do think it matters whether or not there's a conviction. now, i would also say that day after day after day talking about the president and whether or not he did pay off a porn star there are based on a sexual relationship that should undermine his candidacy. it should, but ultimately it seems like the public wants to see whether or not he's convicted. >> congressman anna smith. always great to have you here in new york. appreciate it. thanks, john. all right. sir. >> all right. he was a celebrated olympian who became

a convicted killer and the death of his girlfriend, oscar pistorius, known as the blade runner, has a story that has captivated the world for years. the former olympic sprinter spent nine years behind bars for the 2013 murder of his then girlfriend we've esteem camp, but he was recently set free on parole. david mckenzie has a closer look at his past and how steam capsa family has coped all these years convicted murderer oscar pistorius clarity released from this prison out of the view of cameras to his ankles mentioned under strict parole conditions, he can't speak to the media, leave the city or drink alcohol put back in 2012, this was oscar pistorius, a world-class athlete and role model overcoming incredible odds. >> he's done magnificently well and think everybody is proud of him months later, oscar pistorius has global fame became a sorted global notoriety valentine's day,
